METABOLISM
Prevention
PHASE 2 DETOXIFICATION: Your genes lead to reduced Phase 2 detoxification.
Therefore, your body does not eliminate certain pollutants efficiently. You should
familiarize yourself with the potential sources of these pollutants, and reduce the
contact with them as much as possible. You should avoid the following sources:
MERCURY
Most uses of mercury are not allowed in Europe because of its toxicity. However, dental
amalgam fillings still contain traces of mercury, so it would be advisable for you to use other
materials for fillings. Selenium is an effective mercury detoxifier, and should be included in
your diet. Eat a balanced diet, rich in nuts, or use dietary supplements that contain selenium.
LEAD
Dust containing lead is the main cause of lead contamination. The main sources of lead dust
are the lead industry, coal-burning power plants, and vehicle emissions. People who work in
plants that produce or process lead are exposed to the most lead. Try to reduce any contact
with sources of lead, for example by using respiratory protection. In highly polluted regions,
lead can be contained on dust that falls on plants. This dust may be removed by careful
washing. Lead contained in plates and dishes can be ingested when eating acidic food (fruits,
wine, vegetables). Therefore, avoid dishes that contain lead. Calcium is an important
component in the lead detoxification. Eat a diet rich in calcium (including dairy products and
dark green vegetables) or use dietary supplements that contain calcium.
CADMIUM
Cadmium is mostly ingested through food. Cadmium-rich foods include liver, mushrooms,
mussels and other shellfish, cocoa powder and dried seaweed. Another important source of
cadmium is flax seed, and as such, particularly genetically susceptible people are advised to
limit their intake of flax seed to no more than 20g per day. In addition, since the introduction
of artificial fertilizers, cadmium finds its way into almost all types of food. Even tobacco smoke
transports relatively large quantities of cadmium to the lungs, from which it is transported
into the entire body. Try to base your diet on organic products, which are produced without
artificial fertilizers, and refrain from smoking. Use adequate respiratory protection if your
working environment is polluted with cadmium. Zinc is an important component for the
cadmium detoxification process. Follow a diet rich in zinc (for example, seafood) or use dietary
supplements that contain zinc.
CHEMICALS
Pollutants found in industrial solvents, herbicides, fungicides or insecticides can also have a
negative impact on your health. Try to base your diet on organic products, and carefully wash
vegetables and fruits before eating them. Avoid skin contact with industrial solvents, and use
adequate respiratory protection when working with these agents.
